Body Thursday, March 17 Archer City 10, Seymour 0 Chris Allen belted a three-run homer in the bottom of the first and Archer City (3-5, 1-0) never looked back in a 10-0 shutout of Seymour to begin district play.

Body Track season is off to a hot-start for Holliday and Windthorst. The Lady Eagles have won multiple meets already this season and appear to be a regional front-runner once again. The Trojanettes return everyone from last year’s team that won the district championship.

Body After finishing second in district the previous three years, Archer City Head Track and Field coach Donny Gray has his sights set on taking home a district crown. “My ultimate goal is to compete for a district championship,” Gray said.

Body The Holliday Lady Eagle track roster has two runners with Class 3-A state competition medals. Hannah Spears earned gold medals in the 1600 meter and 3200 meter runs at the state meet last spring. Jayce Lyons was a bronze medalist at the state meet in the 1600 meters.

Body The Trojanettes ran away with the district 9-2A meet last year scoring 191 team points, 58 points better than second place Quanah. The good news for the Trojanettes is the district championship team returns practically everyone.

Body The Trojans finished fourth last year in District 9-2A. Head Track Coach Daniel Cole said, “The goal is to move up the ladder in the district point totals and possibly compete for a title, however, numbers will hold us back some.

Body Windthorst (14-13) claimed a postseason berth with a thrilling overtime win over rival Archer City but unfortunately came up short in the bi-district round against Cisco. The Trojans will be on the hunt for a new coach for the 2022-23 season.

Body Replacing four multiyear varsity starters is never easy at the Class 2A level but Windthorst head coach Scott Belcher this year’s Trojan team can do just that. “I feel really good,” Belcher said.

Body Windthorst senior Marisa Frazier is one of the two remaining players from Alyson Deatherage’s state tournament team in 2019. She’s been through the ups and downs of the seasons and has seen it all on the softball field.
